Global Software-Defined Networking Market

Software-defined networking (SDN) is a strategy for networking that utilizes software-based controllers or application programming interfaces (APIs) to communicate with underlying hardware infrastructure and direct traffic on a network. SDN enables networks to be intelligently and centrally controlled or programmed using software applications to help operators manage the entire network consistently and holistically, regardless of the underlying network technology. The increasing prevalence of network automation and virtualization among consumers, the surge in demand for cloud services, data center consolidation, server virtualization, and the need for cloud-based services in digital transformation are crucial factors accelerating market growth. However, the need for a skilled workforce, the rising complexity of SDN architecture, and the absence of standards for complete device control are the major factors that may limit the adoption by end-user sectors. Moreover, ongoing research and development to enhance the security of SDN, the rising demand for hybrid clouds, and the development of open-source SDN are expected to create new opportunities for the global software-defined networking (SDN) market.

Regional Insights

The Americas is highly evolving in the software-defined networking market owing to the surge in adoption of advanced technologies across various industry verticals, rising adoption of cloud computing & mobility solutions, and increasing demand for network management due to significant network traffic.
